We are currently dreaming of the warm sun and vibrant colors of Maracaibo (truth be told, we aren’t seeing much sun here in Portland). Luckily, our bronzer and blush duo More Sun from Maracaibo adds that instant glow to channel the breezy, beach style of the Venezuelan city.

It's hard to believe but Spring Break is just around the corner. Whether you're going to the mountains or the beach (or staying home dreaming of the mountains or the beach), there are a few essentials that you'll want in your beauty bag.

First, remember to take care of your skin while traveling. Dry climates and airplanes can take a toll on your skin. Be sure to pack small containers of moisturizer in an easily accessible place and tuck in two Alima Nourishing Lip Balms to keep your lips hydrated – one in your favorite tint and one in Natural.

While we understanding skipping the foundation on vacation, sometimes you still want a polished look. Try Satin Finishing Powder to knock out the shine and a Bronzer to heighten your healthy glow. And don’t forget the sunscreen!

If you’re packing especially light and taking only the basics, toss in a Luminous Shimmer Powder. This handy jar can do it all – provide subtle sheen to the face, shimmer to the body and a gorgeous sheer wash of color on the eyes. Add a smudgy line with a dark shadow and you’re set for the evening! Remember that both the shimmer powder and bronzer can be combined with body lotion or moisturizer if you prefer a dewy glow. Just a few carefully selected Alima products can take you from beach to club; or slopes to soiree.
